Vintage Vine

We LOVE the Vintage Vine. There are always wonderful local folks visiting and enjoying a glass of wine. We stop by every time we’re in town. Kristi is so wonderful and so much fun to talk to. She pours some great vino! If you’re in town, stop by. You will love it.

This little gem is a great find in the little town of Roslyn. It has a great selection of wine and a comfortable atmosphere to relax and share some time with friends. If you want a low key, welcoming place… this is it! It is a «must see» if you are in the area.

lf I ask one thing of you in 2012, it’s to visit this shop if you are near the area. You will be rewarded handsomely with delicious, affordable wine and beer.
We buy wine from Kristi annually on our trip to this area and were delighted that she took over the space where a terrible excuse for a restaurant used to be housed. She has transformed an old space into one of the best hangouts in town with a bar that serves wine and beer and couches and tables to relax among the bottles of wine. The walls are the original brick and are adorned with tasteful local art. Pick a bottle off the shelves and enjoy it there for a $ 5 corkage fee. She has an excellent taplist but an even more impressive beer cooler. I was more than a little astonished to find my favorite beer from Portland (a seasonal) on the shelves. She also has some rare finds from California.
With Kristi it’s nothing but honest opinions on wine. If you ask her what she thinks of a bottle, she’ll tell you the truth rather than trying to make the sell if she thinks you won’t like it. Just yesterday when we asked her opinion on a bottle, she said, it’s good, but this is better and steered us toward another, cheaper option. And this woman has a memory like a steel trap! It had actually been two years since our last visit and she remembered us. Even more impressive, she usually remembers what wines her patrons enjoyed on their last visit, so if you enjoyed a few too many and forgot that amazing wine she poured you, she will likely remember.
Everything we have gotten from her has been interesting and delicious. Stumbling across a Kristi selection in our collection is always a treat because we know we’re in for something fantastic.
Stop in and prepare to be wowed!

The owner — Kristi — pairs wines for some elaborate dinners we host at our house in Roslyn. Her recommendations are always spot on AND affordable. Last time I picked up an order, she suggested a bottle from a limited stock of rose to take home for ourselves to indulge in… very unique and much appreciated.

A real gem in the cascades! This stylishly designed shop has a great mix of domestic & int’l wines. Kristi, the owner is knowledgable and fun. A visit to this shop is a must.

You stop here. You notice that the place is new, comfortable, stylish and well-​stocked. You drink generously sized tastes of various wines, for free. You laugh with the sassy proprietress Kristi. You wonder how a place like this ended up in a town like Roslyn, and why isn’t there a place like this in your backyard. You thank your stars that Unilocal has led you here.
Note that if you only have time to do one wine tasting in this area, Vintage Vine was an order of magnitude more enjoyable than the winery at Suncadia.

Kristi is awesome, knowledgeable and super fun. Get in early and pick out a few wines that you’d like to try. The atmosphere is very chill and homey. Do yourself a flavor, stop and smell the wine at Vintage Vine.
